. . . I hope she knows that I would give her an excellent reference.

[Writing a letter to @GynophobicSword.] By the time you receive this letter, I may or may not be fired. You were always good to me Lon'qu. I hope you do not mind that I keep you as a reference for future endeavors. Thank you. Goodbye. [LIFTS PIGEON and watches it peck at food]

@ZoyPopov [A small smile. After all this time, some things had not changed.] Then I'll wait for you again. [He leans down, giving her an easier target.]

@GynophobicSword Don't get too used to me, love. You know I go any which way the wind blows. [ patting his shoulder. She had to stand on her toes to reach. Shit. She's still short. ]

Where am i

@ZoyPopov So you've thought the same as me? . . . Hah. I'm happy to have you back.

@GynophobicSword That so? A shame for you, really. But I'm quite glad to know we've done more or less the same..

@ZoyPopov I haven't forgotten about you. All of this time, you've been in my thoughts.

@GynophobicSword [ a soft hum ] Do not tell me you've been dwelling on my presence. Or lackthereof for this long.

@ZoyPopov . . . I've missed you, Zoya.

@GynophobicSword Is it, is it truly?

@ZoyPopov Fortunate for me, however.

@GynophobicSword Why yes, unfortunately for the people who thought I kicked the bucket.

@TippedTheScaIes @Duke0fRosanne @AbsoluteRadMe_ [FIST RISING THROUGH THE DIRT]

@Duke0fRosanne @AbsoluteRadMe_ @GynophobicSword *buries lon'qu and pats the dirt* Amen. Back to the cafeteria for sloppy joes, everyone.

I slumber.

@TippedTheScaIes His grip was tighter than what it should be, and his palm was somewhat sweaty. Still, for her sake, he shook her hand.] . . . Vulnerability is not weakness. It is a chance to become stronger.

@TippedTheScaIes Everyone else either helped me do so or was in the way. Strangers under the same command, as you say. However. . . I doubt that I would be willing to do this for a mere stranger. [Quickly, before he could change his mind, he reached out to grab the tactician's hand. -

Huff.

@TippedTheScaIes I don't think this change is necessarily bad. To grow and change. . . To be more than who you were yesterday. Is that not something to strive for? Previously, I could not speak to you from less than ten paces away. I think I'm better off now that I can.

@TippedTheScaIes They're vexing. I thought I'd shunned them long ago, yet despite my best efforts, they resurfaced. Perhaps you were free from these feelings due to your lack of memories. However. . . You have new ones, don't you?

@TippedTheScaIes Err. . . I'll be sure to keep that in mind. [All he understood was talk to Miriel.] How about we get back to the point at hand, though? I doubt you'll enjoy the time off with this worrying you.

@GynophobicSword fiscal year (FY). This type of Shepherd leave is applicable to members of the Archers, Mages, Cleric, Pegasus Knights, Wyvern Riders, and so on, including the Shepherd Guard of the District of Ylisse (DY).

@TippedTheScaIes We have paid time off? . . . Questions for later. Ahem. I have time, if that's the concern.

@GynophobicSword It would not be beneficial if I were to use my two weeks PTO on an unforseen curse... Very well. Naturally, we share in this experience, but do you have the time to spare? You have already assisted me greatly during work hours.

@TippedTheScaIes YES. ALTERNATIVES. [Shouting while running over.] I spoke with Tharja once about this sort of thing and it can have. . . Side effects. Perhaps you're better off speaking about it?

@GynophobicSword *turns around shouting 10 feet away* WHAT? ALTERNATIVE?

@TippedTheScaIes Affection? Hey–Hold it! Maybe you want to consider any other approach?

@GynophobicSword Yes. YES. I was too flabbergasted by the nonsensical notions of affection and devotion that I did not realize this could be CURED with SPELLS! Thank you, Lon'qu! I promise to repay your debt in full with every tonic I can secure. I will return to you with the results soon!
